Soooo, Congressman Miller has joined the board has he? Welcome. Hey, how about we catch a drink in the grill room over at the Capitol Hill Club on Wed. How long do you figure it'll take you to walk there from your office in the Cannon Bldg.? Hmmmmm???? I'll bring along a copy of Lee Morgan's 'best' cd -- Candy.

That's why I continue to tell friends, family and whoever will listen to me in the grocery store that you are the font of all knowledge!! I collected the first 251 and then decided to skip those ones because of the alt. take 'thang'.....does this mean that I'll have to sell more dope to Aric and his buddies out in WA in order to be able to afford to buy those 9300 series ones too???

The 1st 251 didn't have alt. takes and it's a shame (imo) that they started to add them in with the few from that 9300 series. The thing is, the mini-lp covers are supposed to be exact replicas of the orginals and you can't do that if you have a "Joe Blow +3" release. I hope they release this next batch without them.

Since the JRVG series is comprised of titles that Lion produced, the pool of possible releases is rapidy shrinking. It would be nice to see some of these: "Soundin Off, "The Procrastinator", "Sonic Boom", "The Rajah", "Portrait of Sheila, "Far Away Lands", Z.T.'s Blues, "Gravy Train", "Back on the Scene", "Here to Stay", "Down With It", "Jody Grind", "Lonely Town", Bring It Home to Me" etc..

I was keeping an eye a recent auction of his ---a sealed Hutcherson "Live at Montreux" disc --- and was a bit surprised to see the auction scheduled to end at 4:58 am west coast time on a Saturday morning. I don't get that.

An excellent public service announcement.

Now that sounds like a decent option.

I haven't heard any of the 70's stuff ...except for Montreux that is.

More old fuddy duddy stuff.....where's the Hutcherson Mosaic ????

Jackie McLean "Monuments"........try switching places with the guy in red in this Hieronymous Bosch painting.

I have what's called eBayoculous...a type of neurological disorder that always forces my hand to write $3 and check 'gift' in the box. It's the damnest thing....I think I'll consult a specialist about it at some future date.

Thanks for the heads up on that Scott. I was fortunate to have found a 10" copy awhile back but hopefully someone else will see your post and move on this one. It doesn't come around all that often and it's a wonderful piece-o-vinyl ! Cheers.

I have the vol. 1 mini-lp JRVG as well as the Miles JRVG jewel box (TOCJ-66111-12) which includes a few extra numbers not found on Vol. 1 & 2. Wasn't there a consensus over at BNBB that the US RVGs and the JRVGs were cut from the same piece of cloth and identical sonically? So when the "Indestructible" US RVG winds up being released by Toshiba as a JRVG, it'll be exactly the same?

That's a shame. Has anyone ever ever raised the issue in conversation with someone other than Tom E. ? He wasn't too upbeat about it....but then again, he also said that the mini-lp format was pretty much a loser. He obviously hasn't tried to find jrvg copies of the 'Hipp & Zoot' or 'Hipp Quintet' lately.

You will? Ed going to steal your lunch money?

Because every time I see Tod's name show up as a bidder, I immediately cancel the auction and dodge what would definitely be a negative feedback 'bullet'.

The original is so classy.....how dare they tarnish it with that cheap red light district-looking red!!! What an outrage....there outta be a law!! This particular one on the other hand is a truly stunning work of art http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=2520642689

Got mine from Amazon Japan a few months ago...looks like they still have 'em....nice price too.

Yes Lee & Hank. First time Moose and I have voted for the same ticket

Nice to sip a cool one at dusk on the back porch with Bill Charlap.

...how about 4) I gave my copy to Big Al Rearick

Someone said that the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the FDA are now running a joint test to determine which has a longer shelf life -- a package of Twinkies or the Four Freshman set.

Geez Jeff, I didn't know that they sold 12-packs of Mickey's Big Mouth quarts out there......were you able to dodge that falling stack before it nailed ya?
